When you die, God and the Angels will hold you accountable for all the pleasures you were allowed in life that you denied yourself.

We can acquire as much knowledge as we would like with a few taps on our keyboard. That's extremely valuable, but wisdom comes again from some different dimension.

When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in.

Some of us have the good fortune of some type of natural gift, whether it's playing tennis or painting or writing.

Practice remembrance of the present moment, again and again.

If you want to know your purpose, look at the unfolding of your life, because that is your gift to the world. It may not look spectacular, but nobody else has the precise life that you do. It's a gift no one else can offer.

Be willing to be where you actually are. In my experience, that is the most inherently meaningful experience you can have.
